Works great!
I bought this a month ago. It takes the edge off and my gelding seems so much happier!

Not palatable, effects are questionable
I have used the Perfect Prep calming paste before with great results, but unfortunately I was disappointed by this supplement. My horse tries very hard not to eat it, and even when I hand feed it to him, the effects are negligible. He has been more anxious since starting this supplement than in the past year. Maybe just the weather, but the supplement certainly isn't helping much. Stick with the paste, save your money!

It ACTUALLY works!
I have an anxious OTTB who was Chicken Little in a past life (help! the sky is falling!) This supplement has greatly reduced his anxiety. He is more focused and relaxed during our rides and less concerned the boogie man is hiding behind the jumps in the corner of the ring. His overall demeanor in the barn has changed too, he is walking the stall less and also weaving less. He did not have any issues with the palatability of this product, however he also eats pizza and Pop Tarts so he's probably not the target audience for that research. I also wet his food so it sticks. The smell is different but again didn't seem to concern my horse too much. The supplement is also green, and will stain your hands. I have tried several other supplements for this horse including MVP magnesium, Leg Up Calm, SmartCalm, ViaCalm, and Quiessence. I have seen notable improvement on this supplement. I love everything about it except the price but who needs a 401K anyways.

A Supplement That ACTUALLY WORKS
I am super skeptical about "calming" type supplements and I'm a big believer that training is at the pinnacle of solving behavioral issues. However, I recently got a new Dutch warmblood trained through FEI dressage who sees ghosts on one side of the arena and has seen them for months. I think it started out as a legitimate spook and has now just turned into a behavioral issue (ie. "This is the spot I'm supposed to spook at"). He's naturally a very sensitive and alert horse who gets himself worked up really easily. This was recommended by a friend and I decided to try it. Within the first day of giving this, all spookiness DISAPPEARED. Literally overnight. I've had spook-free rides for over a week now and feel like I can finally focus on more advanced training and less on baby-sitting my horse. My only criticism is that it's pretty expensive. It's worth a try, especially for anxiety-prone horses.

No longer effective
Purchased Training Day Perfect Prep for my mentally unstable pony when I first acquired him a couple of years ago, and gave this product rave reviews. Stopped using it for over a year, due to expense. Went back to it, as the results had been remarkably positive in the beginning. That is no longer the case. Don't know if they have changed the ingredients, or if the pony's chemistry/physiology has changed in some way to make it ineffective, but it no longer has any impact on his spooky behavior. Would like to talk with manufacturer about this change in effectiveness. Would still suggest others give it a try, as it was effective once!

I was really hoing this would work
I was really looking forward to trying this for my mare based on all the good things I had heard about it working on difficult horses. She wouldn't touch it, so I added molasses, and she would try a bite and stop. It has a really strong fake apple smell. The scoop is pretty large, so feeding two scoops AM and PM was a lot. It's bright green, and when it gets damp, it stains everything it touches green. I syringed it into my mare's mouth for two weeks twice a day, hoping to see any improvement, but there was no change at all for my mare. Even if it worked, I would worry that it might stain my show clothes or tack.

Great addition to my horses plan
I started my OTTB on this last fall and it made such a difference. He is happier, calmer, and generally more willing. It smells like a sweet cereal, does not turn him off from eating.

Was skeptical but my mind has now changed
So my mare sees dead people EVERYWHERE and I am convinced they talk to her as well.. She has a nasty spook, spin, bolt and was almost to the point of unridable. Absolutely no focus on the task at hand and super reactive to her environment. I had tried calmers with Tryptophan but she is one of the few who "goes in the opposite" direction. I tried Smart Calm Ultra, HorseTech calming and De Paolo Equine Tranquility. They made her even more nuts. As a team we were getting nowhere fast.
She is on gut supplements, Vitamin E/Selenium, and a ratio balancer for grass hay. These vitamins and gut supplements made a small difference (they make her look spectacular!), but not enough to be consistent. Started doing more ground work which is helping but still really inconsistent when being ridden. She is so fast that when she spooks, it's really tough to correct her- especially when your hanging off the side. At 60, this is not an acceptable position. So it has been more than frustrating.
About two weeks ago my trainer suggested I try Perfect Prep Harmony (for mares) but nearly choked at the price. When I contacted the company, Susan suggested I try the Training Day powder after discussing the Princess Pea's issues. Went out and purchased 16 day supply and figured- we'll see. Gave the loading dose and she refused to eat it so I managed to mix it into a paste with some rice bran, water, pancake syrup and a tiny bit of sweet feed. She ate it- yeah for me. The company said in four days one will know if it works or it doesn't. Well, here in So Cal, winter decided to arrive and it has been cold (for us) and windy with limited riding time. The first time I went to get on, she showed enough promise for me to go out and purchase another 16 days worth since I had split the first one with a friend who was also having trouble. Tuesday was the first time I was able to really see if the stuff actually works and I was pretty surprised. She had her bucks and kicks on the line but as soon as I put the side reins on- she went to work. More importantly, the dead people have stopped talking to her. Rode her yesterday for the first time in a week and she was the horse I purchased. Calm, focused and willing to work. My trainer is thrilled and now I will have to work on my PTSD from her past actions. We kind of fed on each other's anxiety.
She still hates the straight powder but I have figured out to mix it with Aloe Vera juice, rice bran pellets(unstablized), and a tiny bit of unsweetened apple sauce. All her other supplements are powder so they all get mixed together and go in a baggy with her Timothy pellets (she gets no grain). She is boarded and I just mix the paste into her feed bags so it is easy to feed. It's a pain to do it, BUT, so far, I now have a ridable horse. Yes- it is still expensive but so is a non-ridable barn puff who just eats and looks cute.
Word to the wise-- DO NOT get this stuff on your hands when it's wet, they will be a lovely shade of jade green for days.

Horse won’t eat it, stopped working
Initially, I saw instant results with this feed. My horse went from spooky to calm. But then I switched feeds from a molasses containing mix to one without, and now my horse won’t touch his feed at all. I’ve tried mixing in apples and carrots, but he just doesn’t like the taste. He leaves about half of his feed behind, after he’s pulled out the apples and carrots. I’ve stopped seeing any benefit from the little supplement he may be ingesting.

Very effective
The cooler weather was bringing out some fresh behavior in my relatively green horse. I had a few lessons which were not very productive because of the freshness we were dealing with. He is not a spooky horse in general, so I can't speak to any effect on spookiness, but I can say that he is better behaved and has a nice mellowness about him. His rides have been much more productive since starting him on this. I did give him an extra scoop a few hours before his jump school. He is also easier to deal with on the ground. He's a good boy in general, but he is a 17 hand warmblood. He licks his bowl clean, so palatability is obviously not an issue!
